Workers with the state DOT will staff booths to collect information from residents and drivers about problem areas on I-90. WSDOT has been working with Bellevue and other Eastside cities and regional agencies on the project.

The August meetings build on WSDOT efforts in May, when planners asked motorists to identify trouble spots on I-90. Nearly 100 drivers responded, providing feedback on choke points and merging problems, and expressing concern about growth and congestion in east King County.

Part of a $2 million state corridor study designed to address travel needs over the next 20 years, the work is scheduled for completion in spring 2008. A final project list will be posted online and at community locations in Bellevue, Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualmie and North Bend.
